How to sew5 steps
  1. Cut and markCut every piece with the grain arrow parallel to the selvedge. Transfer the notches and the marks with tailor's chalk or a short snip into the seam allowance.
  2. Raglan seamsSew the back and front sleeve halves together along the overarm seam, then sew the raglan seams to the body from the neck to the underarm, matching the notches.
  3. NecklineFinish the neckline with a facing or bias binding.
  4. Side seamsSew the side seams and the sleeve underarm seams in one line, from the hem to the sleeve end.
  5. HemTurn up the hem twice and stitch, or catch it by hand.
